A happy household in this city is the
possessor of baby girl six months
old, bright and clipper lump of hui
manity, whose main object in life
seems to laugh with the sun and sleep
when the shadows come, taking her
meals meanwhile, however. In the
house is dear, good, elderly lady
who, unfortunately, is deaf and COM
peeled to use an ear-trumpet. The in
strument has heretofore been source
of wonderment to the little one, whose
mother and the lady carry on their
daily intercourse through it's instru-
mentality. Suddenly the baby seemed
to grasp the situation, and while the
trumpet was in her vicinity began to
babble and laugh through it, much to
the establishment and delight of the
old lady, who never before had
heard that baby voice. Now that the
source of communication has been dis
covered. winter and budding spring

their friendship is thus more firmly

INDIAN CLUB EXERCISE.
An Excellent Way of Developing the
Physical Strength.

An Excellent Way of Developing the
Physical Strength.
The frequent practice with Indian
clubs, by students, clerks and others
of sedentary habits, is worthy of care
full attention. Although in the exer-
else itself, only that portion of the
body from the hips zap is brought into
active motion, yet it indirectly af-
fects the whole body.
For charging the capacity of the
chest and strengthening the wrists
and arms, Indian club exercise is one
of the most beneficial of gymnastic
performances known. There are no
less than twenty different positions or
exercises with the clubs. So natural
and graceful are the manifestations
that one kind of exercise promptly sug-
gests another.
1t is important. when using the
clubs. to stand firm and square on the
feet toes turned slightly outward,
the body erect, back drawn in and the
breast thrown forward. The club
should be grasped firmly but not too
tightly, allowing free-and-easy play of
the wrist. In swinging the clubs, al
ways bear in mind the arc of circle.
This will not only make the movements
more graceful but will also help to pre-
vent injury from a sudden pitch of the
club.
Beginners should not commence
by using heavy clubs; light ones
are more easily handled, and
one is more likely to continue
the exercise than if he tired him.
self by the use of heavy ones. A pair
weighing from five to ten pounds each
are sufficient to commence with. The
|, object is not to become professional,
but to improve the health by judicial
and proper exercise.
AS to time of exercising, the best
time is from fifteen to twenty minutes
before breakfast and for about the
same time before retiring at night.
The clothing should be light and loose
fitting, allowing full and easy play of
of the muscles. The exercises should
be practiced daily. Golden Rule.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
A Desperate Attack of Hydrophobia Cured
With ChIoroform

With ChIoroform
DR.. V. 6. Miller, an old army sur
geon, and practicing physician of a
quarter of century experience, said
recently that he had never been called
on to treat but one case of hydropho-
bia when it was beyond a doubt that it
was case of rabies. This" he said,
twas when first began the practice of
medicine. / was called one night to
see a man who, the messenger said,
was suffering with intense spasms, and
nothing that could be done would re-
ieve him. took with me my medi-
cine case, and also put into my sack
bags bottle of chloroform containing
about three ounces. When arrived /
found the patient quiet. with rapid,
irregular pulse, but in few minutes
he was seized with paroxysm which
it took the combined strength of my
self and the family to control. He
frothed at the mouth, swapping
and snarling like dog. AS
soon as he was quiet / began to
ask questions of the family, and soon
found that few days before he had
been bitten by a strange dog that came
into the cow lot one morning and was
swapping at the cattle. He attempted
to drive the animal out, but the dog
turned on him and, jumping up, in
flicted a slight wound on his left arm.
l. was nothing more than scratch,
had healed up in aday or so, and moth
ing more was thought of it. From the
description of the dog l was confident
that it was the same that few days
before had been killed in the neigh
borhood, undoubtedly mad, and could
no longer doubt what was the matter
with my patient
''His cries when he went into the
spasms were terrible to hear. | gave
him various remedies to quiet him, but
they seemingly had no effec At this
time | happened to think of the bottle
of chloroform. / had then been at
work on the patient for over two hours
and had not been able to give him any
relief whatever, and [ was pretty well
assured that the man would die any
way. was alone with him, expecting
members of the family, who would not
know the difference, and determined
to try an experiment, either to
quiet the man or kill him with the
chloroform. When his next spasm
came on | saturated a cloth with the
liquid and placed it to the patients
nose and mouth. He struggled for
long time, but at last the drug did its
work, and he sank back insensible
He soon came to, the spasm still on
him, and [ again treated him the same
way. This | continued during the
remainder of the night and until nine
clock the next morning. using up all
the chloroform | had and sending for
new supply several times, using
in all about three pounds. At nine
o'clock the next morning the patient
went to sleep. When he Weakened up
he acted like a person dazed or half
foolish. A Shiny, stringy secretion
ran out of his mouth continually, and
he seemed to have no desire for food,
and for a long time would not swal-
low. He gradually grew better, and
in about three weeks time he was up

He never had another attack, and

1t will be observed the village il only a small
portion OF the community IN which II is situated
but it gets all the whisky tax. That is why il is
Incorporated with only. hundred inhabitants.
But while the village gets the tax money, the
county pays its full share OF the expenses caus-
ed by the liquor traffic, and whenever the village
constable arrests Il drunken man. the county.
not the village, pays him for 1t; and the farmers
probably pay two-thirds of the county and state
taxes.
According to the census of 1884, the population
OF the state was 1s53,OOO OF these go 900 lived
in cities and Incorporated villages and these re-
ceved this whole tax :but there are .t33 900 peo-
pie who are fenced out from this tax by corpora
ton lines. Are these l,l33OO0 satisfied with this
sort of law?
How does Il operate? The law in effect is n
bonus from the state to towns, but to secure the
bonus il is necessary to have a saloon, and the
more saloons the more bonus. This bonus
amounting TO over million dollars a wear is n
steady drain on the farming community Farmers
weary of being taxed to support cites, are leav-
ing their farms and moving into town. That is
the only way they can share the tax. From 1880
to 1884 the population OF Michigan cities and in
corporated villages increased 10000, while the
farming population only increased $1,000. The
towns added 80 l-3 per cent. To their population,
while the rural districts added only 8 per cent
The state Is paying premium to municipalities
to induce them to Increase the number Of saloons
and the farmer f0ots the bill until, tired of the
drain, he moves To town TO escape il. No wonder
the towns are growing eleven times as fast as
the farming community!
The tax money does not conc from the saloons
but through the saloons The tax law makes the
saloon an ingenious device TO collect money from
country tax payers, for the support of city and
village governments. Every farmer who votes
against the amendment will vote to continue an
Infamous system from which he gets not the
slightest good. Farmers, how will you vote?
You now have chance TO erase this one sided
law from the statutes; will You do il? Then
vote for the amendment.
But the residents of cities arc growing tired Of
1t. The money IS stained with blood II Is the
paltry price of the ruin OF their sons and Of the
shame of their daughters.
How shall you yoteY If the cities are ready
to repudiate the tax law and support the amend
ment, the farming community certainly ought to
be unanimous In voting IVES"
How shall YOU vote?

FARM NOTES.
The Basis of Agriculture.


Soil is the basis of all agriculture op-
erations. 1t is largely mineral in its
character, although all good natural
soils contain a considerable. but very
varying proportion, of vegetable mat
ter, which is chiefly partially decompOs-
ed and in the condition called mold or
humus. The constituents of soil may
be regarded either as to their relative
size, or with reference to their chemical
characters. The bare fact that the arti-
Gle we are considering is called soil
indicates that its particles have that de-
gree of tineness that they will retain
some moisture, and that some portions
of them are so fine as to yield up some
Of their soluble constituents to water
which may stand in contact with them.
Most soils will, If carefully examined.
be found to consist of stones and gravel
of various sizes, coarse sand, fine sand,
powder, very fine powder, impaliable
powder, and material so fine that if
spoonful of the soil be put into COB
let of water it will render the water
turbid, 50 that it may not settle and
become clear for several days. Now.
the coarser particles Of the soil, it will
be apparent, are not of much use to the
plant. 1t is the finer portions which
are most readily acted upon by the in
fluences of the air and water. heat and
cold, to produce plant food, while, at
the same time, they afford to the seed
a bed, and to the roots mellow and fav-
orable ground through which to spread
and in which to hold.-American Ag-
riculturist for February.

ducing greater love for their home
on the part of farmers children, nam
ing the farm has been overlooked.
There is this much in name, that it is
something tangible and our affections
are apt to take strong hold upon it.
Famous students of words have writ
ten warmly of the power there is in
names. 1t is a significant fact that the
masses never grow enthusiastic about
an abstract idea until it is personified,
and personiiication includes q name.
There is another reason for naming a
farm. more material and yet not less
substantial and important. 1t makes
the farm better known. 1t is easier to
refer to it. 1t gives the farm honor.
Many men find that the names Of their
farms have gone before their own
names; and the farm with a name is
always considered more important,
somewhat better, than the farm with
out name.
But it is not enough to name the
farm simply. The name must be sug-
gestlve and appropriate, and withal
pleasing to the ear. Nor should the |
name be high-sounding, or one taken
from old classics, or from the turf or
play. Let it be suggestive Of the best
or most pleasant feature Of home. Let
the grove that gives so much pleasure,
OF the springs or streams near by. or
the valley along which the land lies and
in which the home nestles, be com
memorated in the name. Then the
name will surely be appropriate and
suggestive: and 1t will bring to mind.
